  • The PGA Tour will host the second edition of the Creator Classic at The Players Championship, where influencers will compete at TPC Sawgrass.

The PGA Tour is set to return to the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, following the conclusion of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The event, which is often referred to as the "fifth major," will feature a $25 million purse, with the winner taking home $4.5 million. This year's tournament is particularly notable as it marks the return of several top players including Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler, who are all in contention for the title. The field also includes defending champion Cameron Smith, who won in 2022. The Players Championship not only offers a significant financial incentive but also valuable FedExCup points, making it a critical event in the golf calendar.
